"AdfuUpdate" - provided does not contain the drive
 

Hey Guys,

I brought a 4GB fake iPod from China.

Tried to upgrade the firmware and now its only displaying a blue screen.

I followed the tutorial on "Dead Players" but I couldn't finish it.

I got to the point where I had to install new hardware, as the player was now being recognised, but it says to click "have disk" then to browse for a file called "AdfuUpdate"

But my windows folder looks nothing like that on the tutorial, and i cannot complete the process because the disk provided does not contain the driver.

Anything would be great!

jakebache , go to Control Panel, and click on System.

In it, select the Hardware tab, then click on Device Manager.

Now you should see a list of hardware items connected to your computer. Look for the player, it should be highlighted with a yellow exclamation mark.
Right click on it and select Properties.

A new box should open. Now select the Details tab and in the drop down box, chose Device Instance Id.

What does the box below it display after you selected it?

jakebache , what specific errors did windows show?

There was a problem installing this hardware:

An error occured during the installation of the device

The required section was not found in the INF.

jakebache , what OS are you currently using?

Try this ADFU file instead http://www.savefile.com/files/1205168

I am using XP, with a vista skin, shouldn't change anything though.
